Manchester United Retains Coach Ruben Amorim Amid Poor Results to Reduce Compensation Costs

News summary

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is under intense pressure following poor results, including a recent 3-1 defeat to Brentford, leaving the club 14th in the Premier League. Despite this, the club is reportedly reluctant to sack him before November to avoid paying a large compensation fee estimated at €13.7 million. Amorim himself has dismissed concerns about his job security, emphasizing his focus on doing his best rather than worrying about being fired. The club has considered potential replacements, with a shortlist including Gareth Southgate, Oliver Glasner, and Andoni Iraola, though their current employment complicates immediate appointments. Former United players Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher are also viewed as possible caretaker managers should Amorim be dismissed. The team has shown some positive signs, such as a recent win over Chelsea and the integration of new players like Bryan Mbeumo, but skepticism remains about Amorim's tactical approach and overall effectiveness.
